Comments:
CSB seal lead-acid batteries are classified as “non-spillable” for the purpose of transportation by DOT, and
IATA/ICAO as result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Test described in DOT [49 CFR 173.159
(d)] and IATA/ICAO [Special Provision A67].
CSB seal lead-acid batteries can be safely transported on deck, or under deck stored on either a passenger or cargo
vessel as result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Tests as described in the IMDG regulations.
To transport these batteries as “non-spillable” they must be shipped in a condition that would protect them from
short-circuits and be securely packaged so as to withstand conditions normal to transportation by a consumer, in or
out of a device, they are unregulated thus requiring no additional special handling or packaging.
For all modes of transportation, each battery and outer package is labeled “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49 CFR
173.159 (d). If you repackage our batteries either as batteries or as a component of another product you must
label the outer package “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49 CFR 173.159 (d).
